COMBINED WRENCH AND NIPPERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 597,592, dated January18, 1898.

Application filed March 30, 1897, Serial No. 629,886. (No model.)

To a/Z wbom zit may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN ROSENDAHL, of Delhi, in the county of Redwoodand State of Minnesota, have invented a new and Improved CombinedWrrench and Nippers,'of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

This invention is a tool combining a ratchetwrench and nippers.

The invention is particularly adapted for use in connection withcarriages and other vehicles and is generally characterized by twolevers swinging toward and from each other and carrying racks whichserve to actuate the ratchet-Wrench and also having edged portionscoacting to form the nippers.

This specification is the disclosure of one form of my invention, whilethe claims deiine the actual scope of the conception.

Reference is to loe had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the gures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention. Fig. 2 is a similar viewfrom the side opposite that shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is asectional viewon the line III III of Fig, 1. Fig. 4 is a detail section of one of theclamps, and Fig. 5 isa detail section of the Wrench proper.

The levers 6 are provided at one side and near one end of each with alink 7, rigidly connected by screws 8 to a plate 9, which is located onthe opposite 'side of the levers 6 and has an arm 10 run therefrom inthe direction of the levers. The plates 7 and 9, with the arm 10, formthe rigid port-ions or frame of the device.

A stub-shaft 11 is mounted i-n the arm 10 and carries a pinion 12,engaged by the rackhars 13, respectively pivoted on the levers G.Attached to the shaft 11 is a plate 14, the ends of Which hold one endof the trunnions of antifrietion-rollers 15, the other end of saidtrunnions being held by the arm 10. The swinging of the levers 6 causesthe shaft 11 to have an alternately-reversing rotary movement. Fixed tothe end of the shaft 11 opposite the end having the pinion 12 is aratchet- Wheel 16, With which a reversible pawl17 engages, the pavvl 17being pressed by a spring 18. Mounted loosely on the shaft 11 andbetween the ratchet-disk 1G and the arm 10 is a spur-gear 19, on whichgear the pawl 17 is pivoted. The ratchet-Wheel 16, turning continuouslywith the shaft 11, transmits movement through the medium of the pavvl 17to the spur-gear 19.

Revolubly mounted within the plate 9 and having its stem 2O run betweenthe levers 6 is the holder 21 of the wrench-head 22. The holder 21 has apinion formed thereon, Which pinion 23 meshes with the spur-gear 19, andsince the spur-gear 19 is given intermediate rotary movement in onedirection a similar movementis transmitted to the holder 2l. By these4means the nut may be unscrewed. The stem 20 of the nut-holder has anannular bore 21 formed therein, which permits the metal spoke of abicycle or analogous wheel to be passed through the head 21 and threaded by means of a screw-cutting die which may be carried within theWrenchhead 22 and Within the holder 2l, the head '22 being removable forthis purpose. The stem 2O is revoluhly held Within the plate 9 by meansof a hey (not shown in the drawings) Which will be passed into theannular groove 27, formed in the stem.

The end of each lever G adjacent to the plates 7 and 9 is provided witha bore receiving the stem 25 of the knives 26. The knives 26 are therebyremovably held and form portions of the levers 6, being regularcontinuations thereof. The edges of the knives 2G are normally arrangeddiagonally to each other and moved toward and from each other, so as to'form the cut.

Having thus described my invent-ion, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent-- 1. The combination with a frame, of two leverspivoted thereon, a shaft revolubly mounted in the frame, a gear-Wheellined to the shaft, a rack-bar carried by each lever and meshing withthe gear-Wheel, a second gear-Wheel loose on the shaft, a ratchet-disklined to the shaft, a pawl carried by the said second gear and meshingwith the ratchet.- disk, and a revolubly-mounted wrench-head carried inthe frame and driven from the said second gear.

2. The combination with a frame, of tvvo levers pivoted thereon, a shaftrevolubly mounted in the frame, means for turning the ICO shaft withalternating reversing` movement from the levers, a geanwheel loose `on`the shaft, a ratchet-disk fixed to the gear-Wheel, a pawl carried onthe gearavheel and engaging the ratchet-disk, a wrench-head revoluhlycarried in the frame, and a gear in oonneetion with the Wreneh-head andmeshing` with the gear on the shaft.

3. The combination with a frame, of levers pivoted thereto, a gearcarried on the frame, means for transmitting movement to the gear fromthe levers, a Wrenehhead revolubly monntedfin the frame, and a gear ineonneetion with the wrench-head and meshed with the rst gear.

4. The combination With a plate havingan arm rigid thereon, of rtwolevers fulernmed on the plate, two rack-bars respectively fixed to thelevers, a shaft revolubly mounted in the arm, a gear fixed to the shaftand meshed with the raek-bars, a ratehetfdisk fixed to the shaft, asecond gear loose on the shaft, a pawl carried by the said second gearand ooaeting with the ratehet-disk, a Wrench-head revolu-y seeond gearalso Carried on the frame and drivenfrom the first gear, and aWrench-head revolubly mounted in theframe and driven from the saidsecond gear.

, 6,. The combination of a plate, a tool revoluhly mounted in the plate,a gear-Wheel mounted in the plate4 anddrivng the tool, two leversfulorumed to the plate, a rack-bar carried by each lever, and a secondgearfliaving connection With the first gear and trans.- mittingmovementthereto, the said second gear being operated by the rack-bars.

7. The Combination of a plate, ateol mountt ed thereon, ashaft mountedin the plate, a `gear-wheel xed to the shaft, two levers fulernmed onthe plate, a rack-bar attached to eaeh lever andengaging the gear, andmeans rfor transmitting' movement from the shafty
